Treatment is usually not necessary unless symptoms are severe. Options include:
- Pain relief: Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help. - Oral contraceptives: These can help regulate hormone levels and reduce symptoms. - Lifestyle changes: Reducing caffeine and salt intake, wearing supportive bras, and applying warm or cold compresses can alleviate symptoms. - Surgical intervention: Rarely required, but may be considered for persistent or painful cysts.
